Winnipeg Jets recall Tucker Poolman; Place Shawn Matthias on IR

With the status of Dmitry Kulikov unknown at this time the Jets have recalled Tucker Poolman from the Manitoba Moose of the AHL.  He was scheduled to be in Belleville today to play with the Moose against the Senators but instead will be in California with the Jets.

His game has steadily improved of late with the Moose and he has looked very strong with his skating and decision making.  He even scored his first AHL goal this past weekend.

The Jets placed Shawn Matthias on IR retroactive to January 12th.  Matthias health status was listed as week-to-week by coach Maurice on Sunday.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
